| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 14, 2006 Nothing wrong with this brew whatsoever. IT did have a bit of a darker color to it, but thats cool. Very hopy in both the aroma and body. Excellent session beer, very good. arjoseph (594), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 23, 2006 12 oz. into Duvel tulip, obtained in a trade with Suttree (I think), summer of 2004. Aroma is faint, but I can pick up some floral and grapefruit hops. Clear amber in the glass with a peachish fluffy head, dissipating rockily. Visible carbonation cascading up. Dense lacing is patchy, but uniform and sticky. The flavor is weak and watery, with the hops barely present and metallic when they are. No finish at all. Medium bodied. A disappointment. zach8270 (2150), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 29, 2006 (bottle - 12 oz) Hazy red pour with a thin film of tan head and some floating sediment. Very light aroma but what I can smell is very hoppy and citrusy. Taste begins with a spicy and hoppy flavor. The middle is smooth and malty and the finish is very bitter and hoppy. Leaves a very bitter aftertaste on the tongue. Nice and hoppy. Thanks Dan. kramer (2531), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 28, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours a very dark copper with a great craggy fine bubbled beige head that left nice lacing. Nose is evenly split between sweet caramel maltiness and resiny hops. Rich malty background gives the resiny hops a run for their money in the flavor as well, leaning towards malt. Finish is bitter and lingering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and creamy with very fine carbonation. A decent IPA, but I prefer more brightness in the hops versus the thick resiny profile in this one.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 20, 2006 Nice golden brown body with some tan head. Hoppy aroma, silight mollasses. Thin body, light hop accents. Bland ending. maniac (2774), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 20, 2006 Slightly hazy brown with a thin off-white head. Strong floral hops aroma. Sweet citrus hops flavor with some fruit and malt flavors in the background. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 15, 2006 Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a large head and a decent amount of carbonation. Scents of malts and a smidge of hops intermingling along with fruit. A malty sweetness on the palate, and apple/grapefruit flavors as well as some raisins. An interesting IPA, but although it has a bitter finish, not very hoppy. LePoopie (151), Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 14, 2006 Woohoo! Beer # 100 for me. Thanks to Dave, Jason, Chuck, and Blake for getting me into the enjoyment of beer. Anyway, on to the review for this. This has a pleasant, slightly hoppy aroma. Has a beautiful brown amber body, with lively carbonation and a nice strong light tan head. Flavor is kind of bitter and hoppy, but at the same time, it all seems kind of weak. Decent body, although the carbonation seems light. Overall, it’s OK, but I’ve had better IPAs.
